Description

The 2019 SWAAG meeting will be held at the Downtown Fort Worth Sheraton Hotel and Spa in the heart of Downtown Fort Worth. The average weather in Fort Worth during mid-October is normally quite pleasant. It has a temperature range of between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, 20 to 30 percent rain chances, and is usually partly cloudy to mostly clear, which makes for some wonderful walking around downtown. Wednesday night will be devoted to checking in to the Downtown Fort Worth Sheraton Hotel and Spa, and checking out local attractions. Thursday’s schedule includes paper and poster sessions, a buffet luncheon with invited speaker Andy Schoolmaster, geographer and Dean of TCU’s AddRan College, and SWAAG's fifth annual World Geography Bowl. Friday’s schedule will continue with the paper and poster sessions and lunch on your own. Later, a buffet style dinner will be served with keynote speaker, incoming AAG President David H. Kaplan, the SWAAG business meeting, and the GeoBowl winners will also be announced. Two field trips are planned for Saturday morning, one of them a tour of Latino Fort Worth, visiting historic neighborhoods, stopping at a Mexico-themed mall, Le Gran Plaza. The second is an informative walking tour of downtown Fort Worth. Please enjoy Fort Worth while you are in town. There is a surplus of things to do, places to eat, and sites to see.
